... you're happy with the way things are. Reasonable.

You realize sovereignty itself was a change?



No, you don't. To wit:

Given how you were able to take what I posted and change my wording to I'm a douche on the Internet.

Given how you were able to take what I posted, cut it up, and change my wording, I'll have to assume you're literate; I'll try this again.

I've never asked CCP to change game mechanics just to suit me.

How about you focus on something other than the corp I'm in and stop being a douche on the Internet.

Fleets have a maximum number, and i think that should be all that you are allowed to bring to the fight.

It's the fault of the people on the outside, looking in.

You want something, but don't want to put in the effort or work to achieve it. Stop blaming the game for your inability to do what others before you have.

If you want it, figure out how to take it and stop expecting the devs to change the game so you can do what many corps have already figured out.

What is it with you people that expect the devs to "make it fair for you", as if the rules were different for the groups that have sov today. Quit asking CCP to **** up the sandbox for your own self entitled desires.

The Mittani as the CSM chairman pushed most the super nerf and now the goons (and allies) are sitting on the most valuable territory while half of nullsec is blue to them. Get off your high horse. The blobs based on raw numbers are I-win button as much as supers were back then. CCP have to deal with it because this is what will **** up the sandbox on the long run.

However, I'd argue that it'd be nice if there was a way that smaller alliances could get a foot on the ladder so to speak and at least chip away at larger alliance sov.

Realistically, though, there's no way logical way that I can think of to make this effective.

Why don't CCP introduce an exponential tax on sov

TL:DR make it such that alliances really value the systems they hold and don't just hold systems for the sake of it.

Simple: make SOV easier to take and lose.

I just thought i'd get a discussion going on how you could possibly fix 0.0 so that smaller alliances could get out and take on the bigger alliances for their sov.

The blob has always caused the lag issues and node crashes, for which you gave us TIDI. The outcome of all battles will be decided on who has the most numbers in system. But what about the smaller alliances in game, how do they get a foothold in 0.0 to grow their alliances ?

Fleets have a maximum number, and i think that should be all that you are allowed to bring to the fight. 250 vs 250 in a system would reduce TIDI and probably the stress load on the sever, plus fights would come down to skills and FC's abilities. Just imagine going into fights knowing that your 5 years of skill training and pvp experience will have some sort of outcome on a fight rather than it being who has the greater number of pilots.

Give the minnows and skill based pvp a chance please.

Remove local, and 0.0 will get very intredasting.

When Apocrypha was in conception, CCP proposed an idea that several constellations and regions of nullsec could only be accessible through wormhole travels. I think this would be a brilliant addition to the game and it would make nullsec more accessible for small budding alliances.

Even if this doesn't happen, it would still be a neat concept to shut down the gates in systems owned by an alliance. They can still be accessed via wormholes, but for an alliance to isolate themselves from the major super cap blobs it would give them a major leg up and a chance to actually survive in nullsec.

Having numbers helps a lot. Not disputing that here. But I recently watched a video on YouTube of a 40ish man Drake gang owning a 150 man CFC alphafleet ( maels and scorps). Using very goodbye tactics such as defensive bubbles and constant strategic align points to hold the vast majority of the fleet to around 130km away.
This video showed me, as a former member of a CFC alliance, that although numbers usually win in generic slugfests, good skill trumps nubs half skilled to fly battleships.

Tl;Dr - 40 drakes can own a full fleet with proper piloting.

Currently large numbers hold no disadvantages in any real way whatsoever.

Actually I think the style of honour described in the Battletech universe would be the perfect solution for Eve. FC's should "bid" on the size of the fleet they bring, with the lowest bid bringing the greatest honour meaning that sovereignty could be decided by small gang warfare.

However that doesn't quite fix the problem either, because instead of being a war of who has more pilots it becomes a war of who has more isk. To rectify this CCP could add instanced small gang pvp arenas to the game where ships aren't permanantly destroyed. This would have the added advantage of ships such as faction fit nightmares finally becoming viable in pvp because isk loss doesn't matter.

Further to this we could level the playing field between small and big alliances even better by removing non-consent pvp from nullsec allowing smaller alliances, even one and two man groups, to rat without having to worry about bully alliances stopping them and they can then have true parity with the big players.

I've read enough of your posts to say this is a troll and a good one at that.


If its serious then i counter propose instead of your suggestion we add a NPC vs NPC arena and player can apply to have jobs selling spacepopcorn and spacet-shirt by shooting them our of popcorn/tshirt cannons on their ships.

1 constellation per alliance max

things fixed?
probably not

the problem isn't game mechanics, the problem is the human nature

Stuff, please?!

I think it would open it up more. If you open the map up ingame and look for numbers of people in system, you'll probably find a big red dot in 2 places, 1 where Test and friends are fighting -A- and friends, and the other being where Goons and friends are fighting NC. and friends.

So the game at the moment is channeling everyone to 2 areas of 0.0 space. Now just imagine that 8 smaller alliances with their 250 man fleets can go out and sbu a system they want to try and take, knowing that a 10000 strong alliance can only bring the same number to stop them. The game would open up alot more and channel people to different areas of 0.0

you can't be serious

Go right ahead. Start listing them please. And make sure you list points that are valid from a game mechanic point of view. That excludes voice chat, logistics issues (as in time taken to form large fleets), lag issues and so on.

Game mechanic disadvantages ONLY please.
